[Verse 1]
We started out with pictures
Of tomorrow in our minds

Dreams of what our family
Might look like over time

The plans were drawn in pencil
The years rewrote the page

And slowly we discovered
Life arrives in its own way

A backpack by the doorway
School papers on the chair

Pictures on the refrigerator
Memories everywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
Some roads wind through valleys
Some roads climb the hills

Every life unfolds a little differently
Than we think it will

[Chorus]
Every home has different windows
Every road has different bends

Every family has its challenges
Every family has its strengths

We don't build from another's blueprint
We build with what we've been given

בְּחָכְמָה יִבָּנֶה בָּיִת¹
(*Beḥokhmah yibbaneh bayit* — *By wisdom a house is built.*)
וּבִתְבוּנָה יִתְכּוֹנָן¹
(*Uvitvunah yitkonan* — *And through understanding it is established.*)
וּבְדַעַת חֲדָרִים יִמָּלְאוּ¹
(*Uveda'at ḥadarim yimmale'u* — *By knowledge its rooms are filled.*)

[Verse 2]

Some children shine through numbers
Some children shine through art

Some are natural leaders
Some connect through their hearts

Some can carry every burden
Some need help along the way

But every child can bring a light
That brightens every day

Friends gathered around the table
Stories filling up the room

A dog asleep beside her chair
On a quiet afternoon

חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל־פִּי דַרְכּוֹ²
(*Ḥanokh lana'ar al pi darko* — *Train a child according to his own way.*)
גַּם כִּי־יַזְקִין לֹא־יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה²
(*Gam ki yazkin lo yasur mimmenah* — *Even when he grows old, he will not depart from it.*)

[Pre-Chorus]

The world may count accomplishments
And measure what it sees

But some of life's most precious gifts
Can't be captured on degrees

[Chorus]
Every home has different windows
Every road has different bends

Every family has its challenges
Every family has its strengths

We don't build from another's blueprint
We build with what we've been given

בְּחָכְמָה יִבָּנֶה בָּיִת¹
(*Beḥokhmah yibbaneh bayit* — *By wisdom a house is built.*)
וּבִתְבוּנָה יִתְכּוֹנָן¹
(*Uvitvunah yitkonan* — *And through understanding it is established.*)

וּבְדַעַת חֲדָרִים יִמָּלְאוּ¹
(*Uveda'at ḥadarim yimmale'u* — *By knowledge its rooms are filled.*)

[Bridge]
A family of one child
May know a different kind of need

A family filled with many
Faces challenges indeed

No two homes are ever identical
No two journeys are the same

But love is learning what you've been given
And helping it become great

Some need room for dreaming
Some need room to grow

Some need someone walking with them
A little farther down the road

And wisdom is not comparison
Or wishing life were rearranged

It's building something beautiful
From the blessings that remain

[Final Chorus]
Every home has different windows
Every road has different bends

Every family has its challenges
Every family has its strengths

We don't build from another's blueprint
We build with what we've been given

Every story has its chapters
Every chapter has its place

And every family can become something beautiful
Through patience, love, and grace

בְּחָכְמָה יִבָּנֶה בָּיִת¹
(*Beḥokhmah yibbaneh bayit* — *By wisdom a house is built.*)
וּבִתְבוּנָה יִתְכּוֹנָן¹
(*Uvitvunah yitkonan* — *And through understanding it is established.*)
וּבְדַעַת חֲדָרִים יִמָּלְאוּ¹
(*Uveda'at ḥadarim yimmale'u* — *By knowledge its rooms are filled.*)

[Outro]
The goal was never building
The family we imagined long ago

The goal was learning to cherish
The family we've come to know

Through every joy and every challenge
Through every blessing and surprise

The rooms are filled with laughter
The rooms are filled with life

בְּחָכְמָה יִבָּנֶה בָּיִת¹
(*Beḥokhmah yibbaneh bayit* — *By wisdom a house is built.*)
וּבִתְבוּנָה יִתְכּוֹנָן¹
(*Uvitvunah yitkonan* — *And through understanding it is established.*)
וּבְדַעַת חֲדָרִים יִמָּלְאוּ¹
(*Uveda'at ḥadarim yimmale'u* — *By knowledge its rooms are filled.*)
